Stretches for Iliopsoas Tendonitis

Iliopsoas tendonitis is the inflammation of one of the hip flexors. If you’ve been diagnosed with this condition, a sports medicine specialist may recommend physical therapy. Watch this featured video for a demonstration of the stretches your physical therapist may instruct you to do.

The personal trainer in this video explains three stretches that are meant to be performed consecutively. Kneel down with your calves flat on the floor and your hands on your hips. Bring the affected leg forward so that this foot is flat on the floor. Gently lean forward, hold the stretch for two seconds, and then shift your weight back again. The following two stretches are variations on the first.
